This was a really good ending to the Renegades series! I don’t think it was quite as good as the other two books but it still was wonderful. The three little twists at the end were interesting but did not leave me in complete shock like some of the other twists.

I also found it interesting how Meyer used the same twist for ace and magpie, the actually-not-dead twist. I also wondered if the three twists (evie being magpie, phobia being adrian's creation and ace being evil) were intended from the start of the series. They felt kind of thought of at the last minute but that doesn't diminish their impact! They were great twists! However I didn’t like the ending how everyone got powers, i thought it would be better if no one got their powers back.

. This book was also quite gory with in depth description of mutilation and self mutilation, murder and other dark themes. I really enjoyed this book and read it on a single day, Feb 13th.

Ok, so i loved this book series from start to finish, however, i don’t like how meyer wrote the epilogue. the ending of the plot itself was fitting and satisfactory, but when i read the epilogue it dipped my mood a bit? to put it simply without spoilers, meyer wrote a position which contradicted the entire lesson taught throughout three books. I could see it as a “this character is young, some people will always view the world this way” type thing, but to me it didn’t feel that way.

Either way, that’s simply me being nit picky.

Otherwise, this series was absolutely amazing from start to finish. though a bit hectic at times, i loved the world building, message and characters. Definitely would recommend this to any YA fan.

(note: the 4 stars isn’t for the epilogue!! the missing star mostly came from the slight back-and-forth-ness confusion of the third book)

I almost don't know what to say except wow. This is definitely the best book in the series, and I loved the other two books a lot. But this one was surprisingly and refreshingly fast paced in comparison to the other two, even more action packed, and the characters and world even more interesting than ever. The mysteries I wanted answered for so long finally got answered, and this book, even more than the second one, makes me regret being so critical of the first book's ending, because although I still think it wasn't foreshadowed enough, it paid off here for sure. I just can't believe that

Callum is dead

and I'm gonna need to search for a fanfic to change that asap! Not because I think of it as a problem, in fact it fits incredibly well and made a lot of sense, but it's just so painful! Also, was the ending with

Oscar/Ruby, Nova/Adrian, and Danna/Narcissa

paired up on the float implying what I think it was, because... that's another thing I'm gonna need some fics about, omg. And the epilogue!! Ugh, what a good book. I only wish some things had been fleshed out a bit more and I'm surprised they weren't, with the books being so long. But that definitely doesn't outweigh the things that I loved. I wish I could read more of this universe, and hey, the epilogue does seem to leave room for that...

I can't quite put my finger on why I didn't *love* the ending, but regardless, I did really like the whole series, and even the bits of the ending I thought I wasn't going to like worked well enough when it all came together.

Overall, I feel like this series had potential to be the most amazing thing ever that I recommended to everyone I know, but fell short to *merely* be a very enjoyable read that I'd be happy to re-read a few times. Not bad at all, and still recommended for people who would enjoy YA superhero type stories.
